Drivetrain Types

Introduction

The "Drive Type" tag in the Catalog tells you which wheels power the car. This is critical for performance and off-road capability.

Term	Meaning
FWD	Front-Wheel Drive — the engine pulls the car. Efficient on normal roads.
AWD	All-Wheel Drive — computer-controlled power to all wheels. Good for rain, not for deep sand.
Low Range (4L)	A mechanical gear found only in true 4WD vehicles — essential for sand dunes and serious off-road.

FWD (Front-Wheel Drive): The engine pulls the car. Efficient and safe for everyday roads.
- Found in: Camry, Corolla, Sunny.
RWD (Rear-Wheel Drive): The engine pushes the car. Better balance and sportier feel.
- Found in: BMW 3 Series, Mustang, older luxury sedans.
AWD / 4WD: Power reaches all four wheels.

The Catalog distinguishes these clearly in the "Drive Type" tag.

Type	Mechanism	Sand Capability
AWD (All-Wheel Drive)	Computer controls power. No Low Gear.	❌ Low. Fine for beach sand, bad for dunes.
4WD / 4×4 (Four-Wheel Drive)	Mechanical Low Range (4L) gear.	✅ High. Essential for Big Red or Liwa dunes.

Rule: If the Specs do not mention "4WD" or "Low Gear," think twice before entering deep sand.
